Cubric Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Looking for an external desktop HD. preferrably 500gb and its affordable. i so far have two choices that im interested in. LaCie http://www.amazon.co.uk/LaCie-301285K-Laci...d_sbs_ce_img_16 LaCie designed by FA Porsche http://www.amazon.co.uk/LaCie-Desktop-Desi...d_bxgy_ce_img_b Western Digital Essential http://www.amazon.co.uk/Western-Digital-Es..._sbs_ce_title_2 or Seagate (though its a bit expensive) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-FREEAGENT-...46&sr=1-162 currently based in the UK and planning to get it from amazon or newegg. though im not quite sure how reliable is it to ship hard drives from the states to the UK (fear of spoiling the hard drive). it is obviously cheaper in the states which includes the postage and so on. can anyone clarify on the shipping to the UK? was your package undamage? and was the item unspoiled? I am open to any suggestions given. im trying to get cheap ones with good reliability. and where do you think i should get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyhighmac Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I like seagate, though I've got a wd as well. I'd reccomend the lacie because they are good quality (though never owned one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermatea Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I think the LaCie d2 Quadra 500GB is better for Macs since it has more features including FW800 support: http://www.macmall.com/macmall/shop/detail...20Hard%20Drives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
